[teaching with drupal] new weirdness

[Dan Butcher]

It would be worth checking your settings file to make sure it's
intact. It's really easy to replace it when uploading new files (or at
least it is for me). You might be able to edit it or upload an old
version and skip the start-from-scratch process.

When I did the previous site, it was a piece of cake, once I got past my first blunders. This time, doing exactly the same, it's being weird.

I get to the database page of the update/install process, and when I plug in the database name, my username and password, then hit "submit" or whatever the right button is and the screen returns to data information page with the fields blank, so I re-enter the database name, and user name and password and the same thing happens again. I'll keep trying to see if I can figure things out.

Anyone else run into either of these in 5.10? I haven't checked the drupal site on this yet but am headed in that direction sometime today.
